POLLEN TRANSLUCENCY AS A THERMAL MATURATION INDICATOR

I. Lerche* and T. E. McKenna*

*Department of Geology, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA.

Abstract

Using an inversion technique, we show that pollen translucency with depth can be used as a quantitative tool to estimate the thermal history of sedimentary sequences. The overall trend of translucency is a decrease with increasing depth.
